The story introduces us to two friends, Rodolphe and Maximilien (Max) Destroy, who engage in thoughtful conversation about the struggles and artistic aspirations of life, amidst hints of darker events tied to a mysterious agent of change, the family's past sorrow, and societal observations. The opening of the novel presents a vibrant scene between Rodolphe and Max, highlighting their contrasting perspectives on art and pain. While Rodolphe expresses his disillusionment with the struggles of an artist, Max argues that many great artists are shaped by their hardships. The conversation veers towards a woman involved in music, who is revealed to be connected to a recently deceased agent of change, Thillard, leading to a sense of shared sorrows and societal intrigues that hint at deeper mysteries awaiting exploration as their lives become intertwined with secrets, identity, and past trauma. Max's character begins to evolve as he contemplates the weight of circumstance, while Rodolphe seeks escape from the philosophical dilemmas discussed, setting a compelling tone for the unfolding narrative.
